At this moment, everyone saw the scene between Ding Fan and Ye Ningbing, and couldn't help but awkwardly shift their gaze in another direction.

Ding Fan noticed everyone's reaction and looked a bit embarrassed. He then released Ye Ningbing and said to everyone:

"Let's go and look elsewhere. An anomaly has already occurred here, so it's clear that in a moment, some powerful individuals will arrive."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone's expressions turned a bit more serious. They could surmise that when the Pure Thunder Pill was refined earlier, the commotion must not have been small, and it was apparent that the one who knew best about the situation outside at that time was Ding Fan. Ding Fan knew that the commotion was not just small! It was very likely to have become the focal point of the entire Thunder Abyss.

"Alright, let's go."

...

Then everyone followed Ding Fan towards another valley within Thunder Abyss.

At this moment, with Ding Fan leading the way, he knew the purpose this time was to help those two little divine warrior girls find the "Gathering Spirit Herb." Therefore, as Ding Fan walked, he expanded his Divine Sense, carefully observing the surroundings. If there really was a "Gathering Spirit Herb," Ding Fan would definitely discover it. Although Ding Fan knew that the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was very rare and uncommon, given that everyone was already in Thunder Abyss, they might as well strive to find it.

If they found it, wouldn't that be a cause for great joy?

"Master said that the 'Gathering Spirit Herb' usually likes to grow in more humid environments, and told us that it might exist in these Thunder Abyss. I believe we will definitely find it."

"Certainly, I believe so too. What do you think, Sister Ningbing?"

At this moment, the two little divine warrior girls had evidently fully recovered from their previous scare, chatting and laughing along the way, appearing very cheerful.

Ye Ningbing, hearing the words of one of the little divine warrior girls, smiled slightly and warmly said:

"I believe so too. After all, Heaven never disappoints the person who tries!"

"Yes, we will work hard!"

"Let's go for it!"

...

For a moment, the two little divine warrior girls felt very thrilled upon hearing Ye Ningbing's affirmative words, which were filled with encouragement, and they were also full of motivation.

Ding Fan and He Qianyao saw this scene and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Ye Ningbing. It was clear that they too greatly appreciated Ye Ningbing's approach, and that everyone was very caring and loving towards the two little divine warrior girls.

After walking for a length of time, Ding Fan and the others arrived at a lush, verdant forest. The ground within the forest was covered with fresh green grass, giving a full sense of early spring, making one feel very comfortable.

Although Ding Fan did not find the "Gathering Spirit Herb" along the way, he and the others did acquire some rare Spiritual Materials, and everyone's mood was quite good. Indeed, Thunder Abyss housed many opportunities, but also many risks. Along the way, Ding Fan had slain no less than five Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts. But for Ding Fan, it was a trivial matter; he knew that even if faced with a Sixth Grade Yuan Beast, Ding Fan believed he definitely had the power to fight.

Suddenly, while walking, Ding Fan stopped, his expression tensing.

At this moment, everyone saw this and was stunned for a moment, then stopped, looking at Ding Fan with some confusion. Clearly, everyone knew Ding Fan must have discovered something.

"Brother Ding Fan? Is there danger here?"

Just then, one of the little divine warrior girls saw Ding Fan's reaction, looking slightly nervous, she asked Ding Fan.

Hearing the little divine warrior girl's words, everyone couldn't help but start feeling tense. After all, they had already encountered some Yuan Beasts earlier, but Ding Fan had never reacted this strongly. Had they encountered a more formidable Yuan Beast that even made Ding Fan feel very tense?

"It's 'Gathering Spirit Herb'!"

At that moment, Ding Fan's lips slightly curled upward, clearly finding it difficult to hide the joy in his heart.

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, then looked at Ding Fan excitedly and asked:

"Ding Fan, did you say you found the 'Gathering Spirit Herb'?"

"Is it true, Brother Ding Fan?"

"..."

At this moment, everyone was filled with excitement and also a lot of questions, as they asked Ding Fan eagerly.

Ding Fan saw the crowd's reaction and couldn't help but smile faintly. With a hint of amusement in his eyes, he nodded at everyone and then said:

"I think we should go take a look!"

Everyone heard Ding Fan's words and couldn't help but feel excited. They knew that the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was extremely rare and not something an ordinary cultivator could come across. But now that Ding Fan said he found the "Gathering Spirit Herb," how could they not be excited? After all, the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was incredibly precious, practically a treasure among spiritual materials for cultivators.

Moreover, they knew Ding Fan generally wouldn't joke about such matters, so it was evident that he really must have found the "Gathering Spirit Herb." Even though Ding Fan said he wasn't entirely sure, everyone had complete faith in his words. After all, it was rare for Ding Fan to be wrong, and everyone believed in him wholeheartedly.

Especially those two divine warrior little girls who had some misunderstandings about Ding Fan before. After being saved by him, they always felt indebted to him. However, Ding Fan's magnanimity touched them deeply, and it was clear they now fully understood just what a good person Ding Fan was. The two divine warrior little girls also greatly acknowledged Ding Fan's strength, so at this moment, they were the most excited when he said he discovered the "Gathering Spirit Herb."

After all, searching for the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was the main task for these two divine warrior little girls. Naturally, they understood how precious and rare the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was, but they never imagined Ding Fan would say he found it. How could they not be shocked and excited?

At this moment, He Qianyao also felt curious and excited upon hearing Ding Fan's words. After all, the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was akin to a legendary existence. Mere cultivators wouldn't be so fortunate to even see it. Clearly, He Qianyao also wanted to see what the "Gathering Spirit Herb" looked like.

After that, under Ding Fan's lead, the group arrived near a giant rock against a giant tree. They indeed felt refreshed when they got there, indicating that there must be a powerful spiritual material present.

The group, full of joy, was almost certain that the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was there as Ding Fan mentioned. However, they were surprised to find that besides a giant rock leaning against a tree, there were only some weeds on the ground. In fact, there were even fewer grass stems here than in the places they had walked before, just a few scanty ones, with most of the ground's color being a blackish-yellow.

"Why do I sense the aura of a spiritual material, but there's nothing here?"

At this moment, He Qianyao carefully surveyed the surroundings, then asked Ding Fan, puzzled.

"Yes, I feel it too, but why is there nothing here?"

"Could it be inside this giant rock?"

At this point, the two divine warrior little girls also sensed the refreshing aura of the spiritual material, but after a careful search, they found no trace of the "Gathering Spirit Herb," leaving them curiously questioning Ding Fan.

Ding Fan glanced around, his expression slightly thoughtful, and finally focused on the ground beneath him. Then he scanned the ground with his divine sense, and soon Ding Fan's face brightened up. Evidently, the place where he stood was indeed peculiar. He smiled at the group and said:

"It's here."

With that, Ding Fan tapped the ground with his foot.

The crowd was surprised as they watched Ding Fan do this; no one expected the "Gathering Spirit Herb" to be growing underground. This was simply unbelievable!

Then, they all squatted down and sniffed the ground, indeed finding the densest spiritual energy emanating from there. They were astonished: how did Ding Fan manage this?

To think the spiritual material below the ground could be detected from such a distance—it was incredible!

The two divine warrior little girls were not the only ones who felt amazed by Ding Fan; He Qianyao was equally astonished. She didn't expect Ding Fan's divine sense to be so powerful, capable of finding the "Gathering Spirit Herb" from such a far distance. This was nothing short of a miracle!

Ye Ningbing also shot Ding Fan a look filled with admiration. As a First Grade divine warrior cultivator herself, she hadn't detected any sign of the "Gathering Spirit Herb." Even after coming to this place with Ding Fan, none of them could pinpoint its exact location. But Ding Fan managed to detect it from such a distance, an achievement that was miraculous, even to Ye Ningbing.

"Let's start working and dig out the 'Gathering Spirit Herb,'" said Ding Fan with a calm smile to the group. Clearly, he didn't care about the shocked and admiring gazes from around him. This was not a big deal for Ding Fan; his divine sense was extraordinary, unmatched by ordinary people. If Ding Fan wished, he could even count the tiny insects beneath the ground.

But obviously, Ding Fan wouldn't bother doing such a boring thing.

Then the group began pulling out their weapons and started to dig for the "Gathering Spirit Herb." It was something they never dared to imagine—encountering the "Gathering Spirit Herb" in the Thunder Abyss was incredibly fortunate.

Of course, everyone knew that without Ding Fan, they likely would have missed the "Gathering Spirit Herb."

The group dug into the ground, their movements forceful. Clearly, Ding Fan was also digging. He considered himself fortunate, knowing that the "Gathering Spirit Herb" was not something an ordinary cultivator would come across. It was extremely rare, but Ding Fan hadn't expected that they would truly find the "Gathering Spirit Herb." Now Ding Fan truly believed that the Thunder Abyss was indeed filled with countless opportunities and hidden dangers.

For a time, the group dug energetically, brimming with excitement.

Suddenly, however.

He Qianyao's longsword, currently digging, unexpectedly emitted a crisp sound.

Ding...

He Qianyao was startled; this was unexpected. It was clearly not the sound of an ordinary longsword hitting a rock. He Qianyao could distinctly feel that what her longsword struck was extraordinarily hard, seemingly beyond what her longsword could dig through.
